Gunmen Kidnap Former Rep. Candidate In Nasarawa by iloriolushola(op): 2:29pm On Jul 01, 2015
The Police in Nasarawa State on Wednesday
confirmed the abduction of Mrs Mary Enwongulu, All
Progressives Congress’ candidate for Akwanga/
Nasarawa Eggon/Wamba Federal Constituency at the
2015 general elections.
ASP Ismaila Umar-Numan, the state Police Public
Relations Officer, told pressmen in Akwanga, that
Enwongulu was abducted in the early hours of
Wednesday.
Umar-Numan called on the family members and the
public to remain calm as police were doing
everything humanly possible to rescue her.
“We have received information this morning that Mrs
Mary Enwongulu has been kidnapped and we
immediately mobilized our men to make sure that
they rescued her from the hand of the abductors.
“It is true that she has been kidnapped. We will make
sure that police rescued her from the hand of the
abductors. The issue is not even whether her
abductors had demanded for ransom or not’’, he said.
He emphasised that investigation was on to know her
whereabouts and called on members of the public to
give useful information to enable the police to rescue
her.
Umar-Numan urged the public to always give vital
information to the police in order to curtail criminal
activities in the state and the country at large in the
interest of peace and national development.
Miss Rosemary Audu, the Personal Assistant to
Enwongulu, said the hoodlums came to the house by
2a.m. and abducted her.
“I was with her in the house when the abductors
came in to the house around 2a.m. and I pleaded
with them to leave her but they went away with her”,
she said.
Mr Joel Tanko, her security guard told newsmen that
he ran for safety when he heard gun shots outside
the gate house.
“I was at the gate when I heard gun shots around
2a.m. outside the gate and I have to run and hide for
my safety within the house”, he said. Enwongulu,
who lost her husband Emmanuel Enwongulu, on June
5, 2015, is challenging the victory of Mr David
Ombugadu at the Election Petitions Tribunal.
